Pi Day pies: what's your favorite pie?

Pi Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pi Day: Great for math and tastebuds (+video) - CSMonitor.com

Pi Day 2014 celebrated throughout the United States - CNN.com

Math geeks and pastry bakers rejoice: today is Pi Day! Yes, Pi is 3.14, and today is March 14, so this is Pi Day! (Oh, and it's also the birthday of legendary academic genius Albert Einstein, too.) And what better way to celebrate Pi Day than by eating pies, especially if they have the pi symbol on it?

Attachment 52440

Pi is defined as the ratio of the circumference (perimeter) of a circle to its diameter, which is approximately 3.14, though the decimal can seemingly go on for seemingly infinity, so we'll just stop at that. And fittingly enough, pies, the pastries that we eat (or throw in others' faces), are most often circles.

In honor of Pi Day, what's your favorite pie? I like pretty much any kind of fruit pie.

Chocolate mousse, banana cream, and peanut butter fudge are my favorites! I like pumpkin as well, but it isn't a favorite favorite.

I used to despise fruit pies, but I've come around to apple pie a la mode. Good stuff. I've also been considering trying key lime lately because as off-put I've been about it all my life, something about it just makes me want to give it another shot.

Ice cream pie. Assorted variations.

Sweet Potato pie is the only one I eat and those Hershey pies at Burger King.

Oh ! So that's Pi Day. Holy hell, I was so scared on Tumblr yesterday, I thought that everybody was going crazy.



Don't do pie sorry, dinner or pudding.

Why has every pie in this thread so far been sweet and not savoury? What is wrong with you people! Beef Pie with tomato sauce all the way

Why celebrate Pi Day on just a single day, when the whole month can be Pi Month?

I like most pies. Apple pies seems to be my favorite, I think.

You get the hell out of here with your beef and tomato sauce pies. I won't have it tainting my chocolate mousse.

Chicken Pot Pie is pretty darn good though. :D

Chicken and Veg pies are glorious. A wee Scotch pie is nice from time to time too. I do like apple pies as well, though! I think the only pie I will actively avoid is steak and kidney, eugh.

I already said "approximately" in my post; did you not see it?

Yes, March 2014 is in fact 3 and 14. The next two digits in the seemingly infinite decimal are 1 and 5, so next year will be 3/14/15. or 3.1415. Get it?

Sweet: Apple Pie with vanilla ice cream, omg

Savoury: Mince Beef and Onion from the chippy, steak and kidney otherwise, omg.

Almost all pies are great though

I did. That doesn't change the fact that that particular sentence was false.

I'll nitpick a bit more, too.

There's nothing "seemingly" about it. Pi is provento be irrational and thus is a non-terminating, non-repeating number in decimal form (or in any integer-base, in fact). There are numerous proofs of the fact.

guys this is a pie thread stop nitpicking about maths you nerds

i mean honestly who cares about someone's casual sentence structure in a food subforum on a final fantasy forum we just want to know what pies you like omg

steak bacon and cheese is god tier

ned kelly pie is pretty great too. involves like mushrooms and trout which I appreciate but not for everyone.

steak and cheese is p. okay but lacks the quality of bacon and is therefore inferior

steak and potato (shepherd's pie) goes alright too but too much potato can detract from the meat

not the biggest fan of chicken pies but I've had a few good ones. usually looking at something like a Four and 20 pie though. I find them remarkably tasty for servo pies.

Cheesesteak pie? That sounds pretty good, actually. Don't forget the onions and peppers.
